Infrastructure Investment An Engineering Perspective

Infrastructure Investment An Engineering Perspective

Established Deterministic Investment Appraisal versus Uncertainty in InvestmentWhen it comes to investing in an infrastructure project the conventional approach is to evaluate risk through a deterministic approach. Infrastructure Investment: An Engineering Perspective however takes on uncertainty in investment. Of interest to engineering consultants government departments financial institutions or anyone involved in investment in infrastructure this text provides the necessary tools for the analysis and appraisal of investment in infrastructure and other assets with uncertain futures. It factors in the finance and engineering of assets such as roads buildings bridges dams pipelines railways ports seawalls wastewater treatment facilities and addresses future demand operating costs maintenance costs and other lifetime and investment parameters in both financial and non-financial terms. It considers the impact of climate change and the possible use of adaptive and flexible solutions capable of responding to changed futures as well as how such uncertainty affects the future performance of these investments.

Organic Photochemistry

Organic Photochemistry

Organic photochemistry is the science arising from the application of photochemicalmethods to organic chemistry and organic chemical methods to photochemistry. It is aninterdisciplinary frontier. Intense activity in organic photochemistry in the last decade has produced so vast anaccumulation of factual knowledge that chemists in general have viewed it with awe. Even those chemists engaged in the study of organic photochemistry will find the rate ofdevelopment in the field perplexing to a high degree. This series originated to fill theneed for a critical summary of this vigorously expanding field with the purpose ofdrawing together seemingly unrelated facts summarizing progress and clarifyingproblems. Volume 11 continues to fulfill the original essential role of this unique series byproviding a convenient review of the structural aspects of organic photochemistry. Aswith earlier volumes this new book offers the research findings of distinguishedauthorities. It stresses timely aspects of organic photochemistry-previously scatteredthroughout the large body of literature-for which necessary critical review has beenlacking. This volume of the series emphasizes the mechanistic details of the di-n:-methanerearrangement . the synthetic aspects of the oxadi-n:-methane reaction . thephotochemistry of carbenium ions and related species . photoinduced hydrogen atomabstraction by carbonyl compounds . and matrix photochemistry of nitrenes carbenes and excited triplet states. Complete with numerous illustrations and bibliographiccitations of the literature this book explores these important processes to the advantageof organic chemists as an aid to research and as a source for supplementary knowledgeon particular topics .

Laser-Matter Interaction for Radiation and Energy

Laser-Matter Interaction for Radiation and Energy

The interaction of high-power lasers with matter can generate Terahertz radiations that efficiently contribute to THz Time-Domain Spectroscopy and also would replace X-rays in medical and security applications. When a short intense laser pulse ionizes a gas it may produce new frequencies even in VUV to XUV domain. The duration of XUV pulses can be confined down to the isolated attosecond pulse levels required to study the electronic re-arrangement and ultrafast processes. Another important aspect of laser-matter interaction is the laser thermonuclear fusion control where accelerated particles also find an efficient use. This book provides comprehensive coverage of the most essential topics including Electromagnetic waves and lasers THz radiation using semiconducting materials / nanostructures / gases / plasmas Surface plasmon resonance THz radiation detection Particle acceleration technologies X-ray lasers High harmonics and attosecond lasers Laser based techniques of thermonuclear fusion Controlled fusion devices including NIF and ITER The book comprises of 11 chapters and every chapter starts with a lucid introduction to the main topic. Then sub-topics are sedulously discussed keeping in mind their basics methodology state-of-the-art and future perspective that will prove to be salutary for readers. High quality solved examples are appended to the chapters for their deep understanding and relevant applications. In view of the nature of the topics and their level of discussion this book is expected to have pre-eminent potential for researchers along with postgraduate and undergraduate students all over the world. | Laser-Matter Interaction for Radiation and Energy

Science and Technology of Terrorism and Counterterrorism

Science and Technology of Terrorism and Counterterrorism

Traditionally resources on terrorism and counterterrorism tend to focus on the social behavioral and legal aspects of the subject with minimal emphasis on the scientific and technological aspects. Taking into account these practical considerations the second edition of Science and Technology of Terrorism and Counterterrorism discusses the nature of terrorism and the materials used by terrorists. It describes how intelligence professionals and law enforcement personnel can detect and destroy these materials and how they can deal with terrorist groups. This volume begins by introducing the shift in analysis of terrorist attacks after September 11 2001 and summarizes selected case studies. It discusses the origin and nature of terrorism and the factors involved in diplomacy. Covering a broad range of topics the book examines: Aerosol dispersion of toxic materials Bioterrorism and the manufacture detection and delivery of biological agents Agricultural terrorism Nuclear terrorism and nuclear weapons systems threats and safeguards Chemical terrorism including manufacture detection delivery and decontamination Cyber-terrorism Personal protective equipment The role of government at federal state and local levels The role of international agencies and their resources capabilities and responsibilities The National Infrastructure Protection Plan As terrorist activities increase globally it is critical that those charged with protecting the public understand the myriad of ways in which terrorists operate. While we cannot predict where when and how terrorists will strike our vigilance in staying abreast of the terrorist threat is the only way to have a fighting chance against those who seek to destroy our world.

The Future of Wireless Networks Architectures Protocols and Services

The Future of Wireless Networks Architectures Protocols and Services

The exponential increase in mobile device users and high-bandwidth applications has pushed the current 3G and 4G wireless networks to their capacity. Moreover it is predicted that mobile data traffic will continue to grow by over 300 percent by 2017. To handle this spectacular growth the development of improved wireless networks for the future has been of paramount importance. The Future of Wireless Networks: Architectures Protocols and Services discusses the future of wireless networks including the emerging network architectures underlying protocols services and applications. The first part of the book focuses on new wireless network architectures that are being developed such as mobile SDN wireless local area networks (i. e. 802. 11) and wireless sensor networks for the Smart Grid. In the second part of the book the authors discuss the new protocols and enabling technologies for the different wireless network architectures. These include wireless MAC protocols resource allocation in cognitive radio networks multicast transmission and femtocells which provide enhanced indoor coverage and increased network capacity. The book’s final section discusses several new services and applications that are springing up such as multisource selection for wireless peer-to-peer (P2P) networks and device-to-device (D2D) content sharing which reduces duplicated downloads of the same contents on cellular links by offloading the traffic onto other networks. This section also covers the next generation of wireless security and privacy control techniques that service providers can use to ensure that their infrastructures and services are adequately protected against all kinds of threats. | The Future of Wireless Networks Architectures Protocols and Services
